A farmer in the Hinds district has a Curious little feathered pet living around his homo.-aead. If is a sparrow, but unlike the ordinary sparrow, it has red plumage. Most .farmers think it too early to have lambs vet, hut one farmer in the Ealing district already has his lambs cub and tailed, and intends In have them on the fat lamb market early. There* was an unusually largo number of merry whirlers on skate.-, at Olympia. last evening, the popular pastime not appearing to have lost one whit of its attractiveness. The afternoon session to-day will ho followed by one in the evening. The system of voluntary Sunday collections was curiously commented on at tin annual meeting of Chalmers Church last evening by one speaker, win said, " If you will pardon me, Mr Chairman, it is almost a gamble—it is yiot solid and certain enough." 'A proposal which has found favour among hairdressers, but not customers, is that in place of Gd tlio charge for hair-cutting should be "Is. Tn some of the larger centres it is understood the price of a hair-cut has been raised to Is; and it would have been increased to this in Timaru had not ono of the local hairdressers declined to agree to the proposal. Surely quite a record in regard to the adoption of reports was made at the annual meeting of Chalmers Church last evening, when nineteen pages containing details of the oast year's work were passed in a little under ten minutes. Though the attendance was large, there was no criticism, and the sneakers expressed unbounded satisfaction with the results placed before them. Several speakers nt the annual meeting of Chalmers Church last evening were treading on treacherous ground when they referred to the size of ladies' hats. One man said that these were a cause of grievance with many of those who attended the church. " It tak.o a little of the force of the sermon away," lie said, " when one has to stretch his neck to look over a large hat." The minister remarked humorously, "I like the beauty of the hats, but not the size." The usual fortnightly meeting of the Druids' Lodge was held in the Foresters' Hall last night. Bro. Claughly presided over a fair attendance of members. A good deal of business was disposed. One candidate was initiated \ into the order and a new member was also proposed. Bro. Rate, P.D.P., Pioneer Lodge, Christchurch, was pre. sent and gave a very interesting report of the. successful working of the Canterbury Druids' Snorts Association in Christchurch and it was decided to call a. special meeting for next lodge night with a view of starting a branch, in Timaru. Bro. Claughly, Arch Druid, having resigned from his office on account of leaving Timaru, the lodge expressed regret at losing such a capable officer, and expressed the hope, that he would have a prosperous career in his new employment in the Nelson district. Ono visiting member from Waimate lodge, was present. A further meeting of the Marine Carnival Committee was hold in Hutchison's Tea Rooms last night, Mrs C. E. Thomas presiding. A letter was received from Mrs 0 a bites, accepting tlio position.of vice-president. A good deal of routine business was transacted. Among other things, it was decided to run a paper to be called "The Propeller" in connection with the carnival. Messrs A. M. Paterson and A. E. Izzard were appointed joint editors. The various stalls were allotted as follows—Art- stall, Mrs F. C. Watson. Sweets, Mrs Smith. Flowers, Mrs F. .riatton. Produce, Mrs Paterson. Needlework, Mrs Cooper. Bran tub, the Misses Bartlett. Christmas Tree, Mrs S. 11. Burns. Tobacconist stall, Mrs Justice. It was arranged that there should be a series of marches jmd tableaux on the opening dav of the carnival which is to bo held in the motor garage now being built in Sophia street for Mr Nalder. . An attractive programme will be provided each evening that tho carnival is open. An art union will be held for which a permit has been received from the Minister of internal Affaiss. Another meeting of the 'committee is to be held on Wednesday, August 24th, in the Marine Band ' room, when the president hopes to see a full attendance of all well-wishers and assistants. - Pianos, Pianos, Piano*.

It is in almost universal . use as a preventive and cure for croiin and has never been known to fail Sold everywhere... NEVER NEGLECT A COLD.

Last night the Rev. D. C. Bates sent the following summary and. forecast —"Squally and showery weather has prevailed with westerly winds generally. The barometer has fallen slowly in the north and risen to-day in the. south. With the winds veering to the southwest present indications arc for a falling barometer everywhere and probably low in the south until about Friday evening, when the winds will probably back to northerly and freshen everywhere, .shortly. Cloudy and unsettled weather is likely to prevail in most parts of the country." The following is Air IT.. S.

At the Magistrate's Court, Waimate, yesterday, before Mr T. Hutchison, S.M., G. Manchester was charged with having sheep affected with lice at Studholme saleyards. Defendant pleaded guilty, but in extenuation stated that- he bought the sheep by wire at Balclutha and had them railed to Studholme. He had not seen the sheep at all. He was fined 10s, His Worship noting the hardship. The Inspector of Awards sued W. T. Buckingham, A. Ilayman and Jas. Manchester (Mr Hamilton for defendants) claiming a penalty of £l.O in each case for failing to place a copy of the threshing mill i workers' award in the galley of their | mills. In these cases the Magistrate had at the hearing of the cases dis- | missed them, on the grounds of lack |of direction as to who had to place I the award in the galley. The matter j had been referred to the. Arbitration I Court, and in accordance with that ■Court's direction judgment now went j against defendants, and a penalty of ; ls and costs in. each case was imposed. j In a civil case Jas.

The Operatic Society wish to thank Mr F. 11 afford, for a" valuable gift of some enlarged photos of the principals of the late opera "Pirates of Penzance." The pictures, which are hung ai the society's rooms, are beautifully finished off, and are exciting considerable admiration from the members.

The auctioneers wish to give a final reminder re the clearing sale to' bo held to-morrow at Clandebove, on account of the estate of the 'late Hon. vulham Rolleston.

'The race between Dick Arnst and Ernest Barry, for the sculling championship of the world, comes off on the Zambesi river, to-morrow afternoon. The race is timed to start at 4 p.m. As New Zealand time is about 9i hours ahead of that at Livingstone, that means 1.30 a.m. here, so that it is hardily likely that the result can bo telegraphed through in time for Friday morning's papers. A paragraph in yesterday's "Herald" made it appear that the' Commissioner speaking at the Conciliation Court on Monday referred to some of the judgments of the Arbitration Court as ridiculous Mr Triggs told a reporter that it had really been his intention to say Unit, oiten awards appeared in that light to the parties interested, and he used tins as an argument in favour el the parties coining ten, an agreement before the Conciliation Court. The Evening Star Quadrille Assembly held a long night last night when, about Go couples took part and spent a. most enjoyable evening. The floor was m good order and the" music of Messrs Uentwonh and Chanmaii kern, things merry till the small hours of this morning. The catering was in the able hands of Mr Budd. Mr E. S. Wilcox, the M.C., announced that the assembly will 1,0 kept going for another month, when with an extended night the Assembly close their 1910 seaion. The time has not yet arrived when the hying machine will be in every day use like the bicycle—when business people will only have to buckle on wuigs and fly to their various callings, limaru residents, however, will be given the opportunity next week of seeing the pioneer of'mechanical flight in New Zealand, on a machine designed and built by a New Zealander. On Monday next Mr H. J. Pither will exhibit his machine at the Olympia skating rink, from 2.30 to 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.

A paragraph in Monday's paper stated that Messrs Craigie and Buxton, ALP s. had gone to Auckland to seo the winter show. This was taken from one of the city papers, in which a list purporting to give the names of all the M.P's who had gone to Auckland for the winter show was published, and the names of Afessrs Craigie and Buxton were included. Air Craigie informs us, bow-ever, that the list was incorrect, and that neither he nor Air Buxton went, their multitudinous duties in Wellington leaving them no time for holiday making. At the Conciliation Court in Timaru yesterday one of the clauses in the employees' demands in regard to an award for plumbers, read:—"lt shall lie the duty of the employers to see that their apprentices attend the Technical School during the last two years of their term." The Commissioner said that if included this would prove a very dangerous clause, and on his suggestion it was struck out. One ™ tlle . Union's representatives said, "The time is not far distant when employers will be compelled to make apprentices attend the Technical School during working hours." The adjourned meeting of creditors in the bankrupt estate of Carl Henrik Matsoii, fisherman, was held in the Assignee's office yesterday morning, being attended by bankrupt and his solicitor (Mr Alahoney), Air Walter Shaw for Mr E. J. Smith, Air F. J. Sullivan ot Uunedin, and his solicitor Mr I'inch); Messrs Albert Andreasend and Win Lovejoy, other creditors. The first meeting had been adjourned to permit ot securities lipid by Air Smith bein-r inquired into, but Air Finch vesterdav reported that he had no suggestion to make m regard to this matter, and the meeting therefore lapsed.

it i3 PCol^i " s to Mr A - S - ' Malcolm, M.l ... the present session of Parliament is more interesting to members, to Opposition members especially, than the.
